Where are all the "BIG WEEK" Bomber Crews?

[kilo2]

What? After watching your film I saw nothing about complaining about assigned altitudes, escorts, what type of planes they may face or how fair it would be. Seems like those guys just took their assigned mission, did their best to hit the target and hopefully make it home. What a concept.

They also werent playing a game

Didn't find a Fort, but found your B-24

Oh dear. That won't do at all.
If the paint shop has time, how about something like Roundtrip Jack for a name (Actually saw a B-17 and crew with that name, but can not relocate it). Any other information will be at your discretion. 91st BG (H)

Try to keep me away!  I would be very honoured to fly under you again.    I probably won't make it to Frame 4 though as I am away at an Elite: Dangerous convention that weekend.

After being under me the first three weeks, ....Never mind. Better not got there.

Nope, but your post makes my point.
The point being, design is discussed then there are the whines about what has been discussed ad nauseum, the designer takes it on the chin again, and all for us to "play a game".
Just saying it would be fun to fly once with the design as presented with no discussion, as it was done "back then" with no public jabs by anyone.

Next....

I usually don't interfere in these types of discussions that haven't really started in this thread yet. But, "positive energy here Allied team". If it's negative just don't respond. Bite on your pride or whatever you have to do. Mainly, just don't reply. Let comments that pick at your sensibilities pass on without comment. I know it's hard...    I have been there a thousand times myself. Just don't do it. Pour that negative devolved reply into something positive to help the Allies win this battle.

The Allies are off to a great start. We can only build something greater from here. Let's stick with it and get these seats filled.

Fourteen B-17 pilots are needed. We have five so far. Where are the rest and who's going out there to get'm?

Com'n Allies our goal is to fill each and every one of the Allied seats with committed pilots. Call in a favor, beat the bushes, bribe your friends with some choice liquors or whatever you need to do.

Let's not only put up a full compliment of pilots, but some well trained and coordinated ones as well.

We can do this. Let's keep it going.

Three more B-17 pilots added.

There was nothing "unpositive" about my post about Flossy being under me for three weeks.....

Most all of the material shown below was taken from http://www.91stbombgroup.com/ web page. Much there to see.

In the U.S. Air Force, a squadron is a tactical unit that is considered smaller than a group. A squadron is also a flight formation.
There were four squadrons of the 91st Bomb Group (H) ,The Ragged Irregulars, that flew out of Bassingbourn, England: the 322nd, 323rd, 324th, and the 401st.
The insignia for each are

322nd Squadron


323rd Squadron


324th Squadron


401st Squadron

Why? Many times the feedback given is constructive and brings up valid points. "Back then" was real war. This is not that. I wouldn't spend a Saturday afternoon on a game that is onesided.

Oh LOL, did I really say that?    Don't worry, I'm well padded and can take it. 

[hotcoffe]

if any one needs a gunner
let me know as long as event is on a reasonable time for my time zone, I ll help....

I am not a big fan of flying bombers but I enjoy gunning

[Joker]

I love flying the B-17 and would enjoy taking part again, HB.
My problem is that I will be out of town on June 3 and June 24.
If there's a way I can fit in the other 2 days I'll be there.

WELL DONE HB. WELL DONE.
